Probably as the starting point the > manual tuning(7) can be taken? Yes, the tuning man page is ok, but it doesn't address the real heavy duty questions. For instance, I run a mega-heavily used NFS server (well, several of them actually), and I want to know what knobs to turn to make it perform the absolute best. I also occasionally get errors, and I'd like to know how to fix those. The tuning man page says nothing about that stuff. Yes, it will be lots of work, but I already have a lot of time put in to the doc project so it's no big deal for me.
